PUBLIC SPAY AND NEUTER Our public spay and neuter program started in April 2014 and FY15 was the first, full fiscal year of the program. A total of 1,136 surgeries were performed for those meeting income requirements.

Through the collected efforts of staff, animal groups, citizens and our elected officials we made significant strides in the health and welfare of domestic animals in Farmington and San Juan County. Thank you for your continued support, Stacie Voss Animal Welfare Director
